CWC thanks everyone who made our third annual "Celebration of All Things Beer" a great event. The BeerFest's popularity continues to grow - our 2007 attendance reached almost 400. This event was hosted by Sudwerk Restaurant and Brewery (Sudwerk donated its venue, pizza, equipment, support and lots of beer!). And again we all enjoyed delicious sausage donated by Nugget Markets and cooked by their fine crew. We topped it off with 50's music by a great band - "Frankie and the Fabletones".
A big thank you to Tim O'Donnell of Sudwerk Restaurant and to Jay Prahl, Sudwerk Brewing Director, who did multiple tasks and led tours of his brewery. This event would not have happened without the efforts of our own Board member Michael Lewis, UCD Brewing Science professor emeritus, and his Master Class students. Beer Tsars Michael and Jay brought over twenty-five regional microbreweries to the event!
These are some of the activities enjoyed at this fun event.
- Tasting handcrafted beers from Northern and Central California.
- Touring the Sudwerk Brewery.
- Winning one or more of our many fantastic raffle items.
- Enjoying contemporary cuisine from Nugget Market complimenting the available brews.
- Learning the secrets from area brewmasters.
- Receiving a commemorative beer mug just for attending.
CWC thanks everyone who made last years event such a success
